| PURPOSE: PURPOSE: THIS GRANT WILL CONTRIBUTE FUNDING TO CTI’S FAIR HOUSING PROGRAM (FHP) WHICH IS CHARGED WITH THE PURPOSE TO REDUCE HOUSING DISCRIMINATION UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING ACT AND TO PROMOTE HOUSING EQUALITY BY ADVOCATING FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT INCREASES HOUSING CHOICE, INCREASES MOBILITY, AND INCREASES SERVICES AND BENEFITS TO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. CTI CREATED THE FAIR HOUSING PROGRAM TWO YEARS AGO WITH ITS INITIAL EOI AWARD (09/21). THE FHP IS A COMPANION PROGRAM TO CTI’S AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING (AFFH) EFFORT, THE HOUSING CHOICE COALITION, BOTH OF WHICH ARE DEDICATED TO PROMOTING HOUSING EQUALITY. SINCE THAT AWARD, THE CTI HAS INCREASED FHP ACTIVITIES AND RESOURCES BY LEVERAGING STATE HOUSING CONSUMER EDUCATION CENTER (HCEC) FUNDING AND STATE FAIR HOUSING FUNDING TO THE PROGRAM. FUNDING UNDER THIS PROPOSED GRANT WILL ALLOW CTI TO CONTINUE ITS FHP ACTIVITIES BY SUPPORTING STAFF AND OUTREACH EXPENSES AND UNDERTAKE NEW TARGETED OUTREACH TO OUR COMMUNITIES WITH SIGNIFICANT LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT (LEP) RESIDENTS. THE FHP’S BROAD PURPOSE TO PROMOTE FAIR HOUSING IS ALIGNED WITH CTI’S STRATEGIC PLANNING AND GOALS. AS A COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY AND A REGIONAL ADMINISTRATION AGENCY, CTI ADMINISTERS A VARIETY OF HOUSING PROGRAMS INCLUDING RENTAL ASSISTANCE (HOUSING SUBSIDIES), EMERGENCY SHELTER SERVICES, AND THE HCEC. CTI IS A RECIPIENT OF HUD COC, CSBG, HOME, AND ESG FUNDS. CTI ENGAGES IN DATA DRIVEN APPROACHES TO ASSESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS, IDENTIFYING IMPEDIMENTS, AND SETTING MEANINGFUL GOALS TO ADVANCE AND FURTHER FAIR HOUSING.; ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: THE ACTIVITIES PROPOSED UNDER THIS GRANT FALL INTO FOUR GENERAL CATEGORIES: RECEIVING, ASSISTING, AND REFERRING FAIR HOUSING COMPLAINTS FOR ENFORCEMENT; CONDUCTING FAIR HOUSING TRAININGS; CONDUCTING FAIR HOUSING AND AFFH OUTREACH; AND INCLUSIVE ZONING ADVOCACY TO FURTHER FAIR HOUSING. WHILE THIS GRANT SERVES TENANTS AND HOMEOWNERS WITH MEMBERSHIP IN ALL PROTECTED CLASSES, THERE ARE SOME COMMON THEMES THAT RUN ACROSS ALL CATEGORIES OF ACTIVITIES. THESE COMMON THEMES ARE DELIBERATE AND ARE A RESPONSE TO DEMONSTRATED NEED DERIVED FROM FHP DATA COLLECTED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS AS WELL AS RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS ON A REGIONAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVEL. NOTABLY, FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING AND PROMOTING INCLUSIVE ZONING POLICIES IS INCORPORATED INTO MOST IF NOT ALL OUTREACH ACTIVITIES AND TRAININGS. THE FHP USES ALL OPPORTUNITIES TO INTRODUCE AND ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION IN HOUSING CHOICE AND AFFH ADVOCACY. SECOND, WHILE OUTREACH IS CONDUCTED REGIONALLY AND THERE IS A GENERALIZED EFFORT TO INCREASE ON-SITE OUTREACH IN THE COMING YEAR, TARGETED EFFORT WILL ME MADE TO REACH SENIORS WHO OFTEN REPORT DISABILITY AND FIXED INCOME RELATED HOUSING INSTABILITY AND PEOPLE WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY NEEDS. THESE TARGETED EFFORTS WILL BE MADE BOTH IN OUTREACH AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT IT WILL ALSO LEAD TO INCREASE USE OF FHP COMPLAINT AND REFERRAL SERVICES. THE FHP INTAKES COMPLAINTS OF HOUSING DISCRIMINATION FOR ALL FEDERALLY PROTECTED CLASSES AND ISSUES. TWO STAFF ENGAGE IN COMPLAINT SERVICES AND CTI IS PROJECTED TO HIRE A NEW FAIR HOUSING CASE MANAGER. THE CASE MANAGER WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE GENERAL HOUSING DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINT SERVICES AND RELATED SERVICES INCLUDING HOUSING SEARCH AND APPLICATIONS FOR AND ADVOCACY WITH RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS (UNDER HCEC FUNDING). THE FHP HAS DETAILED INTAKE AND COMPLAINT, AND REFERRAL SERVICES AND A COMPLEMENTARY CLIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO AID AND TRACK COMPLAINT INFORMATION. THE COMPLAINTS PROGRAM PROVIDES THREE CORE SERVICES TO PEOPLE REQUESTING ASSISTANCE: INFORMATION AND RESOURCES; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE; AND REFERRAL TO LEGAL SERVICES FOR ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES (HUD OR THE MASSACHUSETTS COMMISSION AGAINST DISCRIMINATION). TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IS A SUCCESSFUL FEATURE OF THE COMPLAINTS PROGRAM, AND ALLOWS FHP STAFF TO FAVORABLY RESOLVE COMPLAINTS OF HOUSING DISCRIMINATION QUICKLY AND WITHOUT HAVING TO REFER TO FAIR HOUSING ENFORCEMENT. KEY TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDES HELPING CLIENTS REQUEST ACCOMMODATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS, CONFRONT HOUSING PROVIDERS TO STOP DISCRIMINATORY ACTIVITY, HELP DRAFT ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINTS, ACCESS ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS RELATED TO HOUSING BENEFITS, AND ASK FOR VAWA PROTECTIONS. THE FHP CLIENT MANAGEMENT DATABASE TRACKS COMPLAINTS BY PROTECTED CLASS, LEGAL ISSUE, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, RACE/ETHNICITY (VOLUNTARY), AGE, AND SERVICE PROVIDED, INCLUDING AGENCY TO WHICH THE CLIENT WAS REFERRED. FAIR HOUSING TRAININGS ARE OFFERED VIRTUALLY AND IN THE COMMUNITY. UNDER THIS PROPOSED TARGETED GRANT, ADDITIONAL EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON OFFERING TRAININGS TO MEET THE LANGUAGE NEEDS OF LEP POPULATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE FHP HAS HAD EFFECTIVE RESPONSES CONDUCTING OUTREACH WITH SENIOR CENTERS, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ADULT EDUCATION CENTERS (WITH ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER COURSES) AND ACO/HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. THESE EXPERIENCES HAVE PROVIDED METHODOLOGIES FOR MORE FOCUSED OUTREACH AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES TO LEP POPULATIONS, AND HAVE SUPPORTED THE CREATION OF REFERRAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH AGENCIES THAT SERVE PRIMARILY NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS. THE FHP ALREADY HAS A GENERAL FAIR HOUSING, DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION, CRIMINAL RECORDS, TENANT RIGHTS, AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS’ TRAININGS DEVELOPED. THESE TRAININGS ARE TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, AND KHMER, AND CTI WILL ENGAGE STAFF TO PROVIDE THESE TRAININGS IN THOSE LANGUAGES. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES INCLUDE ON-SITE TRAININGS FOR AT LEAST 200 PEOPLE, 100 OF WHICH WILL BE IN SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, AND KHMER AS WELL AS VIRTUAL TRAININGS. OUTREACH ACTIVITIES ARE DESIGNED TO BROADLY PROMOTE FAIR HOUSING AND AFFH ADVOCACY THROUGHOUT OUR 70 COMMUNITIES. THESE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE SOCIAL MEDIAL OUTREACH, MAINTAINING A FAIR HOUSING PAGE WITH ONLINE REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE, TRAINING REGISTRATION, AND A RESOURCE LIBRARY. OUTREACH ACTIVITIES INCLUDE MAINTAINING CONTACTS WITH MUNICIPALITIES AND PHAS, HOUSING PROVIDERS, AND TENANTS/RESIDENTS TO PROMOTE FAIR HOUSING MATERIALS AND INFORMATION. THE FHP WILL ALSO ATTEND COMMUNITY EVENTS TO CONDUCT OUTREACH WITH A FOCUS ON EVENTS THAT WILL REACH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT (LEP) POPULATIONS. THE FHP WILL ALSO CONTINUE OUTREACH AND EDUCATION FOR MUNICIPALITIES AND PHAS CONSISTENT WITH THIS CURRENT GRANT’S AFFH ACTIVITIES AND WILL ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AND ADVOCACY FOR INCLUSIVE ZONING IN THE LOWELL REGION THAT OVERLAPS WITH CTI’S CSBG CATCHMENT AREA. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: CTI AND THE FHP HAVE LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM EXPECTED OUTCOMES. LONG-TERM OUTCOMES INCLUDE INCREASED KNOWLEDGE OF FAIR HOUSING RIGHTS, INCREASED ABILITY TO REPORT AND GET ASSISTANCE WITH FAIR HOUSING ISSUES, HOUSING PROVIDERS ENGAGED IN BEST PRACTICES FOR FAIR HOUSING, INCREASED AWARENESS OF HOUSING CHOICE AND INCLUSIVE HOUSING ISSUES, REGIONAL ADOPTION OF ROBUST FURTHER FAIR HOUSING PRACTICES AND INCLUSIVE ZONING POLICIES, AND ULTIMATELY, INCREASED HOUSING STABILITY. SHORT-TERM OUTCOMES ARE EASIER TO MEASURE AND TRACK CLOSELY WITH EXPECTATIONS SET IN THE SOW FOR THIS GRANT AND PREVIOUS EOI GRANTS. THIS PROPOSED WORK HAS FOUR KEY COMPONENTS: INTAKE COMPLAINTS AND REFERRALS FOR ENFORCEMENT; FAIR HOUSING TRAININGS; OUTREACH; AND AFFH ADVOCACY. EXPECTED OUTCOMES FOR THE FHP COMPLAINT ACTIVITIES: THE FHP IS THE ONLY LOCAL FAIR HOUSING PROGRAM THAT RECEIVES AND TRACKS COMPLAINTS ON HOUSING DISCRIMINATION. THE FHP WILL RESPOND TO ALL REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE PROVIDING AT A MINIMUM INFORMATION AND RESOURCES. WHEN APPROPRIATE, THE FHP WILL ALSO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND REFERRAL TO LEGAL SERVICES OR ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. OUTCOMES WILL INCLUDE REFERRING AT LEAST 60 INDIVIDUALS TO FAIR HOUSING ENFORCEMENT FOR FEDERAL PROTECTED CLASS ISSUES. THE FHP WILL ALSO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO AT LEAST 20 INDIVIDUALS REPORTING DISCRIMINATION UNDER THE FHA. EXPECTED OUTCOMES FOR FAIR HOUSING TRAINING ACTIVITIES: THE FHP WILL MAINTAIN AN ONLINE REGISTRATION PORTAL FOR TRAININGS AND POST PRESENTATION SLIDES FOR PUBLIC ACCESS. THE FHP WILL CONDUCT 20 ON-SITE COMMUNITY-BASED TRAININGS THROUGHOUT CTI’S 70 COMMUNITIES. TEN (10) OF THESE TRAININGS WILL BE CONDUCTED IN EITHER KHMER, PORTUGUESE, OR SPANISH. A TOTAL OF AT LEAST 200 WILL BE TRAINING THROUGH THESE ACTIVITIES. CONCERTED EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO OFFER TRAININGS THROUGH PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAMS WITH ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER PROGRAMS, AND SENIOR CENTERS. THE FHP WILL ALSO CONDUCT QUARTERLY VIRTUAL TRAININGS FOR TENANTS AND ADVOCATES IN ENGLISH, SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, OR KHMER, FOR A TOTAL OF SIXTEEN (16) ANNUALLY. VIRTUAL TRAININGS ALSO HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF OFFERING TRANSLATION AND CLOSED CAPTIONING. FURTHER, AFFH, HOUSING CHOICE, AND INCLUSIONARY ZONING WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO ALL TRAININGS.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: EXPECTED OUTCOMES: CTI AND THE FHP HAVE LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM EXPECTED OUTCOMES. LONG-TERM OUTCOMES INCLUDE INCREASED KNOWLEDGE OF FAIR HOUSING RIGHTS, INCREASED ABILITY TO REPORT AND GET ASSISTANCE WITH FAIR HOUSING ISSUES, HOUSING PROVIDERS ENGAGED IN BEST PRACTICES FOR FAIR HOUSING, INCREASED AWARENESS OF HOUSING CHOICE AND INCLUSIVE HOUSING ISSUES, REGIONAL ADOPTION OF ROBUST FURTHER FAIR HOUSING PRACTICES AND INCLUSIVE ZONING POLICIES, AND ULTIMATELY, INCREASED HOUSING STABILITY.

A TOTAL OF AT LEAST 200 WILL BE TRAINING THROUGH THESE ACTIVITIES. CONCERTED EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO OFFER TRAININGS THROUGH PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAMS WITH ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER PROGRAMS, AND SENIOR CENTERS. THE FHP WILL ALSO CONDUCT QUARTERLY VIRTUAL TRAININGS FOR TENANTS AND ADVOCATES IN ENGLISH, SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, OR KHMER, FOR A TOTAL OF SIXTEEN (16) ANNUALLY. VIRTUAL TRAININGS ALSO HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF OFFERING TRANSLATION AND CLOSED CAPTIONING. FURTHER, AFFH, HOUSING CHOICE, AND INCLUSIONARY ZONING WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO ALL TRAININGS. EXPECTED OUTCOMES FOR FAIR HOUSING OUTREACH: FHP OUTREACH ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES COVER BOTH IN-PERSON OUTREACH AND OUR SOCIAL MEDIAL AND DIGITAL OUTREACH. AS THE FHP GROWS MORE RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE FOR ON-SITE COMMUNITY-BASED OUTREACH. THE FHP WILL ATTEND AT LEAST 10 COMMUNITY EVENTS TO PROMOTE FAIR HOUSING AND AFFH. FLYERS AND HANDOUTS ARE AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH, KHMER, PORTUGUESE, AND SPANISH. CTI HAS INCORPORATED FHP OUTREACH MATERIALS INTO ITS GENERAL OUTREACH ACTIVITIES WHEN FHP STAFF ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO ATTEND AN EVENT. THE FHP MAINTAINS SEVERAL LISTSERVS TO DISSEMINATE ELECTRONIC FAIR HOUSING MATERIALS, INCLUDING A HOUSING PROVIDER LISTSERV, A TENANT/ADVOCATE LISTSERV, AND A MUNICIPAL/PHA LISTSERV. THE FHP WILL ALSO MAINTAIN ITS FAIR HOUSING PAGE, INCLUDING A CATALOGUE OF VIDEOS, FLYER, PRESENTATIONS, ONLINE REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE, AND ONLINE TRAINING REGISTRATION PORTAL. IN ADDITION TO OUTREACH CONDUCTED THROUGH THESE LISTSERVS, THE FHP WILL MAKE 26 FAIR HOUSING POSTS USING CTI SOCIAL MEDIAL PLATFORMS (TWITTER, FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, AND LINKEDIN) AS WELL AS 4 PSA THROUGH LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS. EXPECTED OUTCOMES FOR AFFH ACTIVITIES: AFFH, HOUSING CHOICE AND INCLUSIONARY ZONING WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO GENERAL TRAINING AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES. THE FHP WILL ALSO ENGAGE IN 10 AFFH ADVOCACY MEETINGS/EVENTS WHERE IT WILL PROMOTE INCLUSIONARY ZONING POLICIES IN THE GREATER LOWELL REGION. EXPECTED ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES UNDER THIS ACTIVITY WILL BUILD ON THE AFFH WORK UNDERTAKEN IN THE CURRENT GRANT YEAR AND SUPPLEMENT OTHER CTI ACTIVITIES IN ITS CSBG CATCHMENT AREA; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE FHP HAS A GEOGRAPHIC CATCHMENT THAT COVERS 70 COMMUNITIES IN MIDDLESEX AND ESSEX COUNTIES. CTI AND THE FHP FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT FAIR HOUSING AND FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING BENEFITS EVERYONE. FHP ACTIVITIES ARE TARGETED TO INFORM AND ASSIST WITH ALL TYPES OF HOUSING DISCRIMINATION (INCLUDING SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE UNDER VAWA) AND ALL FEDERALLY PROTECTED CLASSES. THAT SAID, THE FHP ALSO UNDERSTANDS THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE HARMED BY HOUSING INEQUALITIES. THE FHP USES REGIONAL DATA AND RESEARCH ALONG WITH DATA COLLECTED DURING BY CTI DURING ITS COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND THE DATA COLLECTED BY THE FHP THROUGH COMPLAINT SERVICES AND TRAININGS. IN THIS CAPACITY, THE FHP HAS IDENTIFIED SEVERAL PROTECTED GROUPS AND REGIONS THAT NEED FOCUSED ATTENTION AND TARGETED PROGRAMMING. GEOGRAPHICALLY, CTI WILL ENSURE IT IS ESTABLISHING CONTACT AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR HUB CITIES, WHERE THERE ARE REGIONAL CONCENTRATIONS ON PEOPLE WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP). THESE SAME HUB CITIES HAVE HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS OF BLACK AND BROWN POPULATIONS. IN EXPANDING THE FHP’S FAIR HOUSING TRAININGS OFFERINGS TO SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, AND KHMER, THE FHP EXPECTS IMMIGRANT, AND OTHER NON-/ OR LIMITED- ENGLISH SPEAKING RESIDENTS TO BENEFIT FROM OUTREACH, TRAININGS, AND HOPEFULLY INCREASED USE OF COMPLAINTS SERVICES. THE FHP RECEIVES A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ALLEGING DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION, AND EXPECTS TO SERVE A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN ITS COMPLAINT SERVICE. TRAININGS OFFERED TO SENIOR CENTERS AND ACO/HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS CAN FOCUS ON REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS. AS SUCH, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO BE BENEFICIARIES. FINALLY, THE FHP EXPECTS THE LOWELL AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES TO BENEFIT FROM THE COMMUNITY EVENTS/MEETINGS THAT WILL BE CONDUCTED TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF AND ADVOCACY FOR INCLUSIONARY ZONING. EDUCATION AND OUTREACH ON AFFH WILL CONTINUE REGIONALLY, BUT THE FHP WILL FOCUS ADDITIONAL EFFORTS IN CTI’S CSBG REGION (LOWELL AND THE SEVEN ADJACENT COMMUNITIES); SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: NONE | Massachusetts (HUD federal awards) | COMMUNITY TEAMWORK INC | $124K | — |
